SOP notwithstanding, it does seem like quite a few people here react to any critique of any proposed law quite poorly, usually telling me to take it back to the Gungeon (where I post about as often as here)…recent examples can be found fairly easily.

That said, you were perfectly coherent and make a good point about explicit preemption/nullification laws; while I wouldn't support a change to Federal law forcing enforcement I'd be interested in the possibility of pursuing action against a state or prosecutor whose discretion resulted in harm, e.g. eliminating BGCs enabled a felon to get a gun, cross state lines, and kill, or a state refuses to enforce the AP ammo ban, somebody gets hold of some 5.7x28 SS190 ("true" AP, designed for a handgun and defeats soft armor) and kills a cop. Unfortunately that seems like a proposition that would have to be tested after the fact.

Good. We need to be taking powers away from the police, not giving them more bluestateguy Feb 2015 #1
